Why am I so cynical?

Further national industrial action was predicted today as thousands of teachers and lecturers from London marched on the department of education to protest against changes to their pensions.Around 6,000 people - double initial predictions - joined the strike, organised by the National Union of Teachers and University and College Union, with around two thirds of schools in London being affected through closure or reduced classes.

I suppose that the government's advice to the general public will be to panic a little, stock up on education and buy some books, even though they may be a fire hazard in the home.
